A ridge of high pressure stretching from the western Atlantic across west central Florida to the Gulf of Mexico will continue to provide above normal temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures on both days will range from the mid 70's at the coast to the mid 80's inland. Increasing moisture across north Florida will result in a slight chance of showers mainly for the Nature Coast on Wednesday. Otherwise we will see partly to mostly cloudy skies. On Friday a cool front will move south across the region increasing our rain chances to 30 percent. High pressure will quickly build back in across the area, keeping warm temperatures in place for the weekend and mostly sunny skies.
